Active Ingredient

Description

Orligal® is an FDA-approved anti-obesity drug which is manufactured by Signature Pharmaceuticals.

Orligal® is indicated for people with BMI (body mass index) greater or equal to 30 kg/m² or with BMI greater or equal to 28 kg/m² with associated risk factors.

Orligal® contains the main substance Orlistat, which belongs to the lipase inhibitors. Its function is to remove unabsorbed fat from the body in stools and thus to reduce the weight gain. It also prevents from putting on weight after losing weight.

Orligal® can be used for the treatment of obesity in people with certain health conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol.

Dosage

Orligal® is taken orally 3 times a day during the main meal or up to 1 hour after the meal.

The diet of the patient should include three main meals, containing the daily dose of fat, carbohydrate, and protein.

The daily intake of fat should be no more than 30% of your total daily caloric intake (e.g., eating 1200 calories per day, no more than 360 of those calories should be in the form of fat).

The dose of Orligal® should be omitted if a meal is missed or does not contain fat.

Treatment with Orligal® should not continue for more than 6 months and should be stopped after 12 weeks if the patient has been unable to lose at least 5 % of the body weight.

If you lose enough weight for your BMI to fall below 28 kg/m², Orligal® can no longer be supplied.

If you miss a dose you should take it as soon as you remember about your missing. If it is the time for the next dose you should continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not exceed the doctor's recommended dose.
